Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2010届武汉重点中学高三联考)
I don’t usually read forwarded email,but I received one today that caught my attention.It was written by someone who works at Volvo in Sweden,and he mentions how any project in the company“takes_2_years_to_be_finalized,
even_if_the_idea_is_simple_and_brilliant.It’s_a_rule.”
Apparently the fastpaced global corporate world,focused on immediate results,“contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish.They,on the other hand,debate,debate,debate,hold a quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme.At the end,this always produces better results.”
He relates the following story:The first time I was in Sweden,one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning.It was September,a bit cold and snowy.We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2,000 employees drive their cars to work).The first day,I didn’t say anything,either the second or the third.One morning I asked,“Do you have a fixed parking space?I’ve noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.” To which he replied,“Since we’re here early we have time to walk,and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door.Don’t you think?” Imagine my face.
He goes on to talk about a movement in Europe named Slow Food,which “establishes that people should eat and drink slowly,with enough time to taste their food,spend time with the family,friends without rushing.Slow Food is against its counterpart:the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle.”
I love this idea.It is what is at the heart of the simplicity movement,as well as those who are trying to live frugal (节俭的) lives.It’s not just a matter of reducing clutter or saving money...it’s matter of slowing down to enjoy life more,of savoring life’s simple pleasures,of rejecting on some level the materialistic culture we are all caught up in and embracing fellow humans instead.It’s about changing our values and priorities.
1.The underlined part in the first paragraph indicates that________.
A.Volvo in Sweden is low efficient
B.Volvo takes serious consideration before making decisions
C.Volvo is against the fastpaced life
D.the decision makers can hardly agree on any project

A.we should be considerate to those being late
B.we should take some walk before work
C.parking space is quite limited in large companies
D.we must leave room for people being late
3.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.Slow Food will take the place of Fast Food
B.the spirit of Fast Food is still the mainstream in Europe
C.slowdown will bring loss to a company like Volvo
D.slowdown can barely arouse people’s interest
4.Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?
A.No pains,no gains.
B.Time and tide wait for no man.
C.Slow down to enjoy life.
D.Simplicity is the best policy.

【语篇解读】 父亲的遗传基因使我们有了相同的命运——双目失明,他57,而我28。然而在后来的日子里,我在父亲的感染下,出色地完成了扮演我人生的各种角色,在一种全新的亮光中感悟着人生。
1.B 由短语look into(注视)的提示,不难推出是注视着我的眼睛。
2.D 承接上文“...said with coldness”及下文的故事情节,不难推出这种疾病无法治愈。no cure for...无治愈……的方法。
3.A 根据句意,我的父亲携带了一种在大多数情况下会导致失明的基因,故carry符合题意。
4.B 承接上文“...results in blindness...”,应是“He gradually lost his eyesight.”他渐渐地失去了视力。
5.C 承接上文的gradually和本句的“At last”可知我和父亲最终都完全瞎了。故用副词completely完全地,彻底地。rapidly快速地;nearly几乎;terribly可怕地,恐怖地。
6.B 由57和only 28的提示,不难推出前后两句是转折关系,故用but。
7.A 根据句意,当黑夜降临时,我的世界坍塌了,我们的梦想也随之破灭了。break down搞跨,出故障,此处引申为坍塌。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 现代社会生活节奏加快,而有些公司仍保持其严谨舒缓的办事风格,欧洲国家更是兴起了“慢餐运动”。
1.B 考查推理判断题。由第二段的“公司的任何决议都要经过多次辩论,最后总能取得更好的效果”可知画线部分真正要表明的是,公司做任何决定都很谨慎。
2.A 考查推理判断。从文章引用的故事看,那个朋友说“我们来得早,有时间多走几步,而来得晚的人需要在离大门很近的地方停车”,其含义显然是A“我们要为晚来的人着想”。
3.B 考查推理判断。第四段说欧洲国家兴起了慢餐运动,而快餐代表了一种生活方式,由此判断选B,快餐精神在欧洲仍是主流。
4.C 考查主旨大意。作者通过对瑞典沃尔沃谨慎的工作方式的描述以及对欧洲兴起的慢餐运动的介绍等,告诉现代人,要放慢生活节奏,好好享受生活。
